You might remember that I told you about the antiques fair in Esher Hall the other week, in the blog post: Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair, 10-12 October 2014? Well, I went with some friends and it ended up being one of the loveliest antiques fairs that I have visited to date! The atmosphere was so welcoming and everyone was delighted to tell us about their pieces – and believe me, there were a LOT of nice things on display! This was the first fair in Surrey that Richard Ogden attended and our stand looked a little something like this:
We then continued on to a stand where a beautiful moonstone necklace from circa 1910 caught our attention – we had reached T Robert from Norfolk. This elegant collection can mainly be viewed at antiques fairs, as they travel across the UK to show us their range of exquisite pieces.
Above is the piece that my friend fell in love with: a 15ct gold Ceylon sapphire and moonstone necklace, which displayed a range of different colours, depending on what light we viewed it in.
There were so many wonderful stands to visit, with everything from 18th century furniture, to unique pieces of glassware, to the most divine Art Deco furniture. If you haven’t yet had the chance to visit an antique fair, there are still some very exciting ones coming up before Christmas and I would so warmly recommend that you pop by one them! It really is the most enjoyable way of spending a few hours, and you always learn so much, which is definitely my favourite part!
